Abstract
|
|
|
Developmental disorders are a group of psychiatric conditions originating in childhood that involve serious impairments in different areas. These disorders comprise language disorders, learning disorders, motor disorders and autism spectrum disorders.
Midazolam is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class developed by Hoffmann-La Roche in the 1970s. The drug is used for treatment of acute seizures, moderate to severe insomnia, and for inducing sedation and amnesia before medical procedures. It possesses profoundly potent anxiolytic, amnestic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, and sedative properties. The anterograde amnesia property of midazolam is useful for premedication before surgery to inhibit unpleasant memories.
This article presents a case report including caries treatment of a 8-year-old male patient with developmental disorders using oral midazolam premedication as an alternative method of behavior management prior to general anesthesia.
